Zengg is the perfect choice if you're not only interested in the beach, but also want to see a bit of the city. The old town is interesting, the castle is worth a visit and the restaurants are good. It's big enough that you can't really notice the many tourists. The locals are friendly and you can get along well with English or German.

It is a nice and hilly place. It is not much of a big town/city. It does not have a long coast line but there is a nice beach we visited called Skver Beach which closed to the town/city centre. I liked their lechon also that is one of the menu from all the restaurants we visited.

Senj is a small town on the coast. It isn't as crowded as other towns nearby. If you just focus on the beaches and the town itself you might get bored quickly. The mountains however in the area are beautiful and offer great views or hiking possibilities. Coming down from Alan to Jablanac for example offers the most beautiful views I ever experienced. Restaurants offer mostly all kinda the same food. Bora 45 Hotel has good food, try the restaurants near the water in Lukovo south of Senj ( great road getting there), and the fish restaurant in Klenovica north of Senj. Coast road to Senj can be very busy in August. So a good alternative route is the highway from Zagreb to Split. If you want good Slivovic avoid the factory made, ask for farmer-made Slivovic, If you are lucky they sell it. More inland villages often have. If you depend on good wifi, book a place near the central post office. If you get further away the speed can drop to 4-6 Mbps.

The beach is amazing, the people are friendly, the weather is usually great (but also windy). The restaurants are an amazing price quality, especially Uskok which we dinnered at. This is a town to stay at for 2 or max 3 days. I wouldn't stay for the whole week, there won't be anything to enjoy outside of the small town, small charming (amazing) beach and the castle with view.

It was nice and calm, with plenty of good restaurants downtown. Beaches were not too crowded, the seaside is good for kids - pretty warm and calm sea. Paddleboarders will also enjoy. It is very easy to get around the town by foot or car. You can get any basic stuff in local supermarket. Our stay was 2nd week of July and it was warm as hell even for destination like Croatia.
